A Penny's Worth of Splash

A PENNY'S WORTH OF SPLASH

 

My Love and I happened upon a well

And wished for the world, at our feet;

As the shiny, new penny, silently, fell

And splashed to echo and repeat; repeat;

Well, no water-filled pit can change tomorrow

Or give, magically, what we wish and want,

But it can bring emptiness and sorrow;

We are not what we are not, but what we've got;

So, don't throw that precious money away,

Believing you can buy your schemes;

Make that penny work for you, today,

Reaping the rewards from your dreams.

Again I am impressed with your exquisite way with words.

I like this one. The truth of the matter, in this day and time people don't just throw that money in the well and make a wish, they just throw it away thinking it isn' t worth much. Every penny counts. Good thoughts.

So, don't throw that precious money away,
Believing you can buy your schemes;
Make that penny work for you, today,
Reaping the rewards from your dreams.

Amazing and yet so wise.
This is so wonderful.
